and everything in the ps3 is expensive.. i think GPU may be the cheapest part.

it have a gloss black case = expensive.

all come with HDD=  expensive.

1 ppu 3.2ghz +7 3.2ghz spu processor. 9 threads. 

XDR 3.2Ghz main ram = VERY expensive.

nvidia RSX = its should be the cheapest to make its should be 45nm by now.

wifi and bluetooth = not expensive but cost extra $$.

and blu ray drive, it diode alone its over 50$

etc.

ok.. here we go:

harddisk $26

Blu-ray drive (dual pickup system,Sony) $28

case $2

shielding $10

heatsink $5

Mainboard $10

Memory $12

Rsx ($45 mfc ->) $70

Grand total $335 for a PS3 shipped to your warehouse

 

 

err.. Sony is still selling the console at a lose so my pricing is way closer. I did forget the PSU though...
